Backpacking and Budget Travel

...does not mean poor quality tours. On the contrary, some of the best tour packages cater to backpackers - something long know by the well-travelled backpacker. Reducing costs by using backpacker and hostel-style accommodation allows travellers to spend more time to explore this vast country and often gains you access to places the ordinary tourist does not see.

Except where specific tours have been designed for a specific age group, you do not need to be young to enjoy these tours, just young at heart with a spirit of adventure and a willingness to forego luxury accommodation. It's also a great opportunity to meet and share experiences with like-minded travellers from all over the world.
